Application of liquid roof

Liquid Roof Application is best with a scraper and a roller with fine hairs. Before applying, mix the catalyst pre-measured by following the instructions. Only one application is better than several layers. Alterations can be applied as desired after the initial cured film and the surface is first wiped with solvent. To ensure its effectiveness, it must be applied to a layer of 20 million. Apply with brush around flashings and edges using long passes and slow. On level surfaces, material may be paid, the spread with a squeegee, then level off with a short nap roller. The product itself will be level when sufficient material has been applied. Liquid EPDM rubber roof should not be applied over the cream-colored rubber ALPHA.

Membership

Membership will increase with time. Polar surfaces such as metal, concrete and wood result in better adherence than non-polar surfaces such as asphalt and EPDM single ply sheet. Most surfaces, including weathered single ply and thermoplastic membranes will have enough of a surface profile to anchor liquid EPDM rubber. Liquid EPDM rubber roof has proven superior to acrylics, urethanes, and other elastomers as a barrier against moisture. With UV and weather, sealants become brittle and lose adhesion, causing leaks. An application Liquid EPDM rubber roof will provide air and seal that will outlast the original sealant.

Durability

By itself, the liquid EPDM rubber roof membrane exhibit the characteristics of its EPDM chemistry, ie UV and stability of ozone, an excellent resistance to water and beat the long-term flexibility. However, since it is always applied to an existing surface, the condition of the surface will determine overall life expectancy.
Liquid EPDM usually applied Rubber EPDM on the monolayer can extend its life another 20 years, the useful life of metal roofs also benefit greatly when the liquid EPDM rubber roof is applied. BUR systems often have existing problems, such as delamination between layers, buckling and stress cracking. This is aggravated by wet insulation, which often leads to severe corrosion and weakening of the metal supporting the bridge. Projecting life expectancy of the membrane liquid EPDM rubber ultimately comes down to a case by case determination. When EPDM rubber membrane is compared to urethanes, acrylics and other elastomers in accelerated weathering and heat aging tests, EPDM rubber is found to be superior.
Liquid EPDM roofing are aftermarket products designed to extend life, seal, to provide a heat reflective or aesthetic function over existing roof surfaces. Now you can also enjoy the many benefits of a weathertight roof EPDM rubber. Liquid EPDM roof is a unique form of EPDM rubber. In liquid form, it can comply with any form of roof, flashing, or protrusion, vertical or horizontal, and can be easily applied with a brush or roller on your roof. repair roof with Liquid epdm roof is now very easy.

Surface Preparation:

Liquid EPDM roof / Liquid Rubber / Liquid Rubber can be applied on roof decks, gutters, structural steel, air conditioner enclosures, cooling towers, in galvanized steel, duct heater, fireplaces and chimneys, fiberglass and non porous masonry surfaces. Surface to be coated must be clean, dry and solid. Fasten loose areas with adhesive (contact cement) or pop rivets. Oil or wax must be completely removed.

All surfaces to be coated must be clean and dry. Remove loose paint and caulking fragile. Heavy accumulations of asphalt cement roof should also be deleted. Tighten any loose fasteners and replace those that are heavily corroded. Roof Panel Repair or replace storm. Remove heavy rust with abrasive discs or wire brushes. Power wash all surfaces to be coated and allow to dry completely. Caulk all gaps more than 1 / 16 inch which are not expansion and contraction of the sliding surfaces.

Remove the movable parts of the existing coating and brittle caulk with scraper and wire brush before using liquid EPDM. Anything that still has a good grip can stay recoating.

Rusty or pitted metal should be wire brushed to remove loose oxide. Tightly adhering corrosion may be covered. the asphalt coatings of aluminum function must be removed as much as possible by wire brush or abrasive disc. cement roof must be removed and replaced with butyl caulk where necessary.

Rubber repair torn areas pick up the loose with cement contact. Coat exposed edges with contact adhesive to prevent absorption of liquid solvent Roof EPDM / EPDM liquid rubber. A piece of rubber can be applied to the torn area, if desired. Remove chalk white rubber membrane brushing with a detergent solution followed by rinsing water or work surface with a stiff brush. Smooth metal or plastic should be roughed up to improve the adhesion of the roof liquid / liquid rubber-polishing a solvent can work on some plastics.

For large commercial projects: Airless or Air Spray atomized Airless equipment need is a hose pump gun, but must generate 3500-4000 psi pressure and is limited in the length of pipe that can be used because of the high pressure drops. Air atomized equipment requires two hoses to the gun making it more cumbersome to maneuver the addition of a compressor.

Liquid Roof is the only liquid EPDM rubber products currently on the market.
